Lets's calculate LCM of 594,3523
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2092662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2092662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/594,8396/3523 is 4/2092662
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 594,3523 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(594,3523) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(594,3523) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(594,3523) = ( 594 × 3523 ) / 1
LCM(594,3523) = 2092662 / 1
LCM(594,3523) = 2092662
